I think that a variable being returned during or as part of the fetch is NULL and a sprintf is being done with that NULL variable, because I just ran into an issue like this compiling a piece of code on my own. I tried reproducing that, but given the fact that I don't have 7.0 release right in front of me, I can't really reproduce the issue. HTH, -Garrett
